Topic 9.1: Defining and Differentiating Parametric Equations
Learning Objective: CHA-3.G
Calculate derivatives of parametric functions.
Essential Knowledge: CHA-3.G.1
Methods for calculating derivatives of real-valued functions can be extended to parametric functions.
Essential Knowledge: CHA-3.G.2
For a curve defined parametrically, the value of dy/dx at a point on the curve is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point. dy/dx, the slope of the line tangent to a curve defined using parametric equations, can be determined by dividing dy/dt by dx/dt, provided dx/dt does not equal zero.
